Yuck! Not for Me!

A Gentle Story About Poison Safety

Poison safetyAges 3–7

“From my grown-up? YUM! Not sure? YUCK!”

Kai loves to explore – the kitchen, the garden, the garage and the hall. But not everything that looks yummy is for eating! With Mom, Grandpa and Auntie, Kai learns that medicine is not candy, that cleaners, laundry pods and button batteries never go in a mouth, and that wild berries need a grown-up’s okay. And when little cousin Bea finds a pill bottle, Kai knows just what to do: tell a grown-up right away.

A cozy story for ages 3–7 that helps every child remember: if a grown-up didn’t give it to me – YUCK! Not for me!
